Hemelbestormers, the upcoming generation of top musicians

This season the emphasis is therefore on the up-and-coming generation of top musicians. They present themselves with innovative programs, often in a personal way.
Klapstuk
Klapstuk is the evening to discover classical music. An hour crammed with short highlights from beloved pieces. Including personal introductions by host Eva Cleven and the musicians. No prior knowledge is necessary. Today, the young Romanian pianist Daniel Ciobanu plays virtuoso and danceable, often even jazzy works. Sit down and taste everything.

It can happen to a pianist that 'a few bars, 0.1% of a work, take you out of reality for hours,' said Daniel Ciobanu in an interview. 'Then you must be lucky enough to find that 0.1% and believe in it for more than a day.' Ciobanu tackles things thoroughly, and with success. "He puts images in your head," the German press said. Today he plays pieces from all kinds of angles. Schubert's supervirtuoso Wanderer fantasy , who himself said: 'Maybe the devil can play it'. But also La Valse by Ravel, a real music poem. In Keith Jarrett's hypnotic Encore from Tokyo , Ciobanu is hard to keep up with. "That man has his own temple in my heart, with many candles and strange noises." Ciobanu closes with two 'classical jazz' pieces by the Ukrainian composer Kapustin.
